I am running CM 11 and I have enabled ART. I was excited about TW but as of right now I am just happy with how stupid fast this is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] srs731:
I have owned my s3 since release. I have ONLY ran AOSP since day 1. Haven't even tried TW hell I might like it.

Will defiantly move to 4.4 once there are cherry picks. I enjoy aosp so to answer your question 4.4!

Questions go in Q&A and help section.

Please do not check the box "yes this is a question" as it puts a [Q] in the title and then those get moved to Q&A

I have edited your title to read [Discuss], although the whole AOSP vs., TW subject has been beaten to death

It is just a matter of preference and many of these threads can be found across XDA

4.3 TW to be honest

Want to see if it boosts Quadrant benchmarks since the CM11 builds certainly haven't
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Who cares if the quadrant score isn't higher? As others have said, 4.4 is insanely fast! I don't need a score to tell me that. 4.3 TW may have higher quadrant scores but it won't touch 4.4 AOSP for real life speed. Apps open instantaneously, lag is nonexistent... What are you looking for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zetsumeikuro:
Ofc TW will bench better since they "cheat" to boost scores in certain benchmarks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thewalkingdude:
I like TW. I have been running carbon since goodness is MIA. I can say I look forward to a new TW. I miss some of the features.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Tough question. If we even see TW 4.3 anymore, I'd say that. I was on the cm11 builds for a few days, and like most aosp roms, it is plagued by camera quality and data issues. Data is fine in good service areas, but low/fringe areas struggle, then it murders your battery. I had to come back to TW for stability. I know cm11 is young, but even some aosp 4.2 and 4.3 roms give me similar results with the camera and data issues. Just my experience.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jager420:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joshua5683:
As much as I'd love to use CM11, I can't stand the AOSP camera and that is why I use Touchwiz. CM11 looks so good though, and apparently has something called "ART" which apparently is good, so I will probably flash a CM11 rom to give it a try, but will end up reverting to Touchwiz like always because of the camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Exactly like me. I don't even like the TW interface, but the camera and data issues always make me come back. I tried CM11 over the weekend, and it was really smooth. ART is pretty cool, too. Makes the apps launch almost instantly, but isn't compatible with all apps. Makes for a lot of troubleshooting and xda reading. What made me switch back to TW was when my girlfriend and I were literally right next to each other using our phones, she had 4G (Galaxy S4) and I had no data. It never came back until we moved to an area with a little better signal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
ART is not part of CM , its a experimental runtime environment that Google has inserted into 4.4 . At this point it's mainly experimental for developers. Many / most current apps don;t support it.

If you don;t like the way TouchWiz looks , you can run any other launcher on a TW ROm and have the best of both worlds, stability and all features working with a different UI appearance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
Just my .02 but the TW vs. AOSP was never just about appearance. It was more about the amount of "bloatware" on TW roms that some never use or see any need for. Most of the Samsung features and apps fall into the this category.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jefflikesbagels:
I just went back to a TW ROM due to way too many random reboots, shoddy data, and mediocre camera quality. It's a love hate relationship, because the only thing I like about TW is the data and camera, while the UI and buttery smoothness of AOSP is what I really enjoy. TW ROMs always lag for me. If only we could have both together...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Apps you don;t want are easily removed or frozen. They don;t hurt anything just sitting there anyway. The Custom TW ROMs have the useless items removed while retaining the good stuff like All Share and the IR Remote functions. They also add the options to install themes, lots of 4.3 and 4.4 features etc. That's why there's not a lot of excitement about 4.3 or 4.4, we already have most of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
I am excited for both.

I really wish there was working multiboot for the d2vzw, though. When I'm traveling, I'd rather be on TW because I find battery life and camera quality are much better. Otherwise I'm on AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
Sounds like samsung really screwed up 4.3 trying to rush it out the door so they can sell their stupid watch for christmas. Sad that motorola can jump from 4.2 to 4.4 in 3 weeks on verizon and samsung is struggling to get 4.3 on any of their devices.

I run CM anyways so its not a huge deal, just a /wtf

Next phone = motorola (or a nexus)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
I'd love a beefier moto x for sure. Maybe one with a new snapdragon 800.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrMeeseeks:
More excited about tw. I have tried 4.4 but can't deal with the battery life. I know they said they were pulling the 4.3 update but looks like att customers are getting it tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Comp625:
I'm still surprised that, despite a strong community, no one can figure out why TW yields better signal strength/data than AOSP. After all, TW is built upon Android and the same radios are all used. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
it kinda bluffs the signal strength you may see 4 bars LTE but in reality maybe its 2 Bars lol?

idk just guessing
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
TW does display more bars at the same signal strength

1. cheat the benchmarks

2. cheat the signal display

3. profit
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
But then why does actual user experience and user reports mostly claim TW to have better signal in low areas and handles data hand offs better? I'm not a TW advocate here, but it's the consensus of the posts I read. My experience has also always made me go back to TW. This even being a topic we are discussing points to some sort of issue with aosp. But, the devs rock, no doubt about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
Because there was (it was mostly resolved) a data handoff issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Samsung most likely has access to some proprietary Qualcomm blobs that open source devs don't. Hence some things will always be better on TW.

Too bad they couldn't get it running smoothly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DigitalMD:
Please buy all the Motos you want . I had two different models over the years, top models that got one update each in the first 4 months and nothing more, Moto EOLd them after a year.. Plus the last had a locked bootloader so even custom ROMs stopped. Samsung has always done a better job updating than Moto.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

There's no way to do this since the kernels are different. But its really not necessary, you can have multiple launchers and easily switch on the fly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
TW. Reception.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] esjames:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jager420:
TW for better data signal. Our good ol dev beans hopefully will have a better 4.3 touchwiz ROM than what verizon releases
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
Im exited for TW 4.3 because of signal and basically the my verizon app working on there..

and it gives you a feeling of stability with signal/camera/FFC etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanThaDude:
I'm kind of skeptical regarding the TW/AOKP signal difference. I say that because I live in the boonies with very little signal. While TW would at times show more signal, it had just as much trouble connecting as AOSP. YMMV but those are my results.

With that said I rather have a working TW 4.3. Just leave out the KNOX & locked/encrypted BL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
its been discussed before Samsung's Radio software is closed source and the AOSP is reversed engineered witch isn't better from Samsungs
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RyanThaDude:
Of course it's been discussed and I'm well aware of the difference of the RIL. Those were my results, take them with a grain of salt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skrusrnmz:
Short answer is I'm loving 4.3 already from CM. KitKat will be that much better when it stabilizes.

It took me a while to leave TW. Then ran CleanRom7 with Nova because STOCK-stock got really boring.

Finally it was a mix of getting tired of 4.1.2, and CM maturing enough for me.

The camera is definitely what I miss most.

All that to say I'm excited about the update. But by the time it makes it to the VZW GS3 kitkat will be pretty stable. So I'll ride stock for a few but unless it blows me away I'll be back to CM11.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markdapimp:
I agree on stock vanilla android

think of Vanilla android as a work of art of developers

to the regular consumer its blank canvas ready to be painted on
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jtcressy:
I'm loving the KitKang rom on this phone so far. Flashed it coming directly from TW 4.1.2. Battery life is good, Phone signal is good, and all the good things about kitkat are here to stay on my phone. I don't miss many features from TW. The camera needs work, but no developer can really create good camera support on AOSP with the fact that samsung's camera software is all closed source. I'm actually glad devs got it to work the way it is now.

As for speed, 4.4 kitkat is MUCH faster than TW 4.1.2 and i'm not even using ART. I even get higher benchmark scores with 3D Mark. (Could probably attribute at least 3/4 of that performance boost to the kernel)

When the 4.3 OTA rolls around, i'll give it a glance over. But I won't flash it, and I wont consider using it unless I start having problems with AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I'm right with the guy with bad signal in the boonies. I need to invest in an extender but haven't. I agree tw roms seem to show more bars or whatever. But I can't really tell a difference between tw and KitKat. I'm on kit Kat. I'll probably stay on KitKat. But I'll try any new 4.3 builds from beans or others. Right now the devs are kicking ass and taking names with KitKat. All the builds I've tried have been pretty sweet. No issues for me other than the lack of extra features that aren't in tw anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MartyMacGyver:
I'm not holding my breath for an OTA anything to come out anytime soon for the VZW S3 (everyone else will probably get it first). As I mentioned elsewhere tonight, I miss the proper hardware HDR more than anything else on my S3 now that I'm on CM10.2 (10.1 had it but it was utterly useless because it failed at ZSL - three shots a second apart aren't worth anything on a handheld camera). As long as the phone signal isn't horrible I can do without the stock TW restrictions.

(That all said, once I went to CM10 I was stuck there... any attempt to go back to stock, even fully wiping, ODIN, etc., left the camera non-functional. Back to CM? Camera works fine. I always wondered how using CM could have permanently borked my camera when it comes to ever returning to the stock OS.)

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Incineroar:
There's a way to check if it's malfunctioning. Start your phone, and head to the dialer, and type *#0*#, and a screen should come up with all sorts of buttons on it. Tap "Sensor" in the middle, and you should have a screen with a spinny thing. If you hold your hand near the proximity sensor, the white background should turn green and your phone should vibrate. If it doesn't do that, your sensor may be malfunctioning. To exit it, double-tap the back button until it exits.

Hello people, I'm trying to use a Claro sim card on my Personal phone (both carriers are argentinian), but can't get it to work.

The Claro card works on other phones. Mi xt925 is running CM 10.1.3 and the correct baseband (100700.220.62.33p).

It even showed me the gsm menu from Claro but no option worked, and still have no signal and get "Network not available" error.

I get something about the sim can be registered in Claro Argentina (as I said, the sim is working with no problem on other phones) when tryng to choose network.

I already have and unlock code, and don't have another sim (from a different carrier) to test it.

Is there anyway to force the phone to ask for the code?

EDIT: In case someones gets to this post, I fixed it going back to stock rom by using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=38190729.

I put my sim card in and automatically asked me for the code.
